Patricia Monahan; Ian Sidaway; James Horton; Albany Wiseman

Synopsis:
Here are three books in one, and the only guide any artist needs to draw people beautifully. From understanding the basics of human anatomy to capturing the grace of the female nude to accurately depicting a person's figure and form, this covers it all: choosing and using tools and materials, capturing both still poses and motion, and completing exciting, skill-building projects.* Figure Drawing: "15 detailed and engaging projects…capture the figure from different viewpoints, examine how the skeleton and muscles change with every action, and work with lighting. Highly recommended volume."--Library Journal.* Anatomy: This comprehensive guide will help beginners comprehend the body's structure and how it moves. Develop abilities with a series of exciting projects, including arms, torso and legs, heads, the male and female body, a female reclining, an athlete, and a dancer.* The Female Nude: "Working from photos, the beginner can advance through the challenges of the three classic poses; seated, reclining, and standing. A fine addition to the genre. Capture the body in three classic poses. Twelve projects take the student through every step of the process."--Arts Materials Retailer.
